The appointment of the Hon. John W. Foster to be minister to Spain, coming as it did unsolicited, is a compliment which the president in bestowing did himself honor. Col. Foster has shown by his service as minister to. Mexico and Russia that he is an accomplished diplomat.

Paesident White's appeal to the legislatuie, published this morning, is, as our correspondent says, "a manly appeal." There lias undoubtedly been over ofliciousness on the part of the senate. It is in plain words none of the legislature's business whether or not the faculty of Purdue university excludes Greek societies that is peculiarly the province of the faculty.

The Globe-Democrat thinks Senator Edmunds a lit person to succeed Senator David Davis as president projtem. of the Senate, because "he is to be the Republican candidate for president, and to be elected next year." President Edmunds'would be an example of one man power in the white house but it should be said for him that judging from his record the power would be exerted for good.

Lieutenant Commander Gorringe is not receiving favorable comment on his haste to abuse his superior. He brought the obelisk tf this country, it is true, a feat for which he deserves credit, but it does not rank him higher than his brother officers, who could have performed the same service, nor does the patronage of Vanderbilt raise him above the discipline of the service of the navy or make him a superior of those who outrank him.

Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, introduced a bill in the house yesterday to prevent the importation of wines from Germany until some means are provided to prevent the importation of deleterious wines from that country. Evidently Mr. Townshend, who has given us instances of his fighting proclivities, desires to fight the devil with fire, or in other words is in favor of retaliation on Germany for stopping the importation of American pork into that country.

Mr. G. W. Smallev in his cable letter to the New York Tribune says Parnell's failure to disown and condemn the Dublin outrages "is a total break up of any possible public alliance between the Parnellites and the English Radicals." "All over England and Scotland," he says "there is one outburst of indignaant condemnation of the leader, who deliberately refuses to*disown the outrages, and to disavow any possible connection between the murderous societies and the iand League,"

Last week the Republicans did well in the town and city elections in Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia and Harrisburg they carried all before them. The election of congressmen in Ohio and Indiana to fill vacancies occurring since the November result was the first verification of the well founded belief that the Republican party was not deserted permanently in November, and now Pennsylvania gives further proof of the fact. This spring Indiana will make it conclusive so far as this state is concerned.

Sheridan the New York man who traveled through Ireland as a priest and was described by Informer Carey as an organizer, and who recently was interviewed, giving a deplorable picture of Ireland's woes, has been asked for of ourgovernment bv England. Mr. Sheridan may be a blatant trouble maker, but American iove of fair play dictates that his case be carefully inquired into before he is extradited.

Therefore it is just as well that the United States at home does not yield to her demands through any snobbishness as did Mr. Lowell the minister to Great Britain not long since, but that Sheridan's delivery be made, if at all, upon just grounds.

The course of the administration of President Arthur is receiving praise daily, not only from the Republican press but from leading Democrats. Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, a thorough bourbon, a few days since in the senate willingly acknowledged the fact that the administration was meet ing with popular favor. Of cortrse there are disgusted politicians, but the people, and the Republicans, that is the vast majority of them who are neither stalwarts nor half-breeds, are contented in seeing the president observe a cautious policy in deciding questions on their merits.

Evansville whence came sounds of rejoicing, in the midst of the desolation elsewhere, that it was not flooded is now receiving sharp rebukes from the press for its indecent exultation which overflowed to the country in the nature of an advertisement of the town. The National Republican says: "Their ill-timed Rlee has given ofl'ense to the natives of Xew Albany and IJOUISviile and the press of those ami other lately inundated towns is calling attention to the fact that Evansville is about the only place in tne country that has turned adeafear to the appeals for help that have gone up from the fifty thous and helpless victims of the flood. Next time Evansville will contribute more money and make less noise."

Without any consideration as to the laws of evidence Rerdell's cross-ex animation yesterday will strike the mind of the lay reader as being against the defense. It showed that Dorscy and others had consulted with Rer dell as to contrivances against the attorney general and his prosecutions. What Mr. Ingersoll desired to develop may be the fact that Dorsey discountenanced the trick proposed by Rer dell, but in doing so, as we said before he makes an admission that is very convincing to the average mind. Of course it is impossible now to deny that Rerdell has been a confidant of the other indicted parties, and the defense is therefore narrowed as to its case, but the cross-examination as yet has not broken down the limits Rerdell's confession has put upon it rather it has confined them.

The question of food adulteration is being agitated by the press of several states aud bills have been introduced in two or three legislatures looking to the protection of the public. In most all countries except this there are stringent laws, zealously executed, preventing the poisoning, for that is what it means, of the people by adul terated food. In this country it is carried on with impunity, especially in the commodity of sugar and syrups, which everybody uses, and which contributes so much to the health or injury of children. Glucose combined with sulphuric acid or some other drug is now commonly furnished for the product of the juice of the sugar cane. It is stated by physicians that many of the diseases of the kidney or bladder are attributable to glucose. The manufacture of glucose within the past six or seven years has greatly increased. Several years ago there was but one manufactury at Buffalo, while now they are counted by dozens. The day is coming when laws will be demanded by the people to protect them from the undoubted injury of the impostures, which are rapidly being improvised to supply a cheaper article of food.

Terre Haute, Feb. 26.

P.

AN APPEAL TO TJIE CiEN'ERAL ASSEMBLY To the Honorable, the Members of the General Assembly of the Slate of Indiana:

GENTLEMEN: Fully believing that the so-called "rider" attached by the senate to the appropriationto Purdue University, will seriously injure the institution, and jeopardize its success as an industrial college, I feel it to be my duty to do all in my power, consistant with due self-respect, to remove any seeming occasion for its enactment. To this end I have tendered to the board of trustees my resignation as president, asking to be relieved of my duties at the earliest possible day, not later than the close of the present college year. I take this step after due reflection, with the hope that my withdrawal, if it do not placate those who, for personal reasons, are urging this legislation, may at least, satisfy the members of the General Assembly that they can safely continue to entrust the internal management of the university to its legally constituted authorities.

When I first became aware of the intention to put a "rider" on the Purdue appropriation, I proposed to leading senators in both political parties to relieve the situation by a prompt withdrawal from the university. They assured me that such a step was not necessary, since there was no expressed dissatisfaction with my administration of the affairs of the university, as its president the only objection having reference to the regulation of the institution relating to the so-called Greek fraternities. But the extraordinary "rider" subsequently reported by the finance committee, and the offensively personal speeches made by members of said committee in its advocacy. (to which I listened) revealed too clearly the source and animus of the "rider" movement to leave me in doubt respecting my duty and I now take the step which first suggested itself to my mind as a possible relief of the university from threatening danger, most earnestly hoping that it may be successful. The step is taken as a high duty which I owe not only to Purdue university, but to the other state universities and colleges of the country, all of which are menaced by a dangerous legislative precedent.

For the first time- in the history of American colleges, it is proposed Inlegislative enactment to give the students of a college immunity to organize societies of any kind within the institution, and to give the societies thus organized the protection of law, whatever their character or influence and howsoever subversive they may be of the government or the purposes of the institution, provided only they bear a Greek-letter title or are secret. This is setting up in Purdue University an imperium in imperio, with the full authority of law—a virtual surrender of the authority of the University to selfconstituted "students' societies. It is an ominous subversion and overthrow of the authority essential to the pro­

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS -TUESDAY- MORNING, FEBRUARY 27.1883.

per control not only of Purdue University but of every college—an authority which has been exercised in some form by nine-tenths of the colleges in the United States and which exists and is recognized in all.

Student's societies have been the occasion of serious troubles, in one form or another, in many of the colleges of the country. Scores of these colleges have been obliged to abolish insubordinate or demoralizing organizations, and others have adopted regulations to which all societies permitted to exist in them are obliged to conform.

No one who has had experience in college management, or who has any considerable acquaintance with college life, will deny tnat students' societies are fruitful sources of difficulties in college administration. The power to deal with these societies directly authoritatively, is essential to the effective control and management of every college in the country.

May I also b0Termilted to add that the "rider" adopted by the senate (though much less objectionable than the one reported by the finance committee) is, in my judgment, not only a dangerous precedent, but it may prove a great annoyance to succeeding legislatures. It opens a highway between insubordination and rebellion in the state institutions and the lawmaking power, where political methods and motives may be used. Suppose, for illustration, that just before the convening of the next general assembly, or while it is in session, a society or class in the state university at Bloomington should rebel against an order of the faculty and defy its authority, thus making it necessary for the authorities of the institution to suspend the students connected with the rebellious society or class, as was done in the Western Reserve university, at Cleveland, a few weeks ago. Instqjul of submitting to the discipline and authority of the faculty, as the Cleveland" students were obliged to do, the suspended students could secretly appeal to the General Assembly and attempt either to defeat) the necessary appropriations, or have attached to the same a "rider" compelling the authorities to rescind the obnoxious order. It is easy to see that such a proceedure as this would be the practical overthrow of rightful authority in that excellent institution and who would be the gainer? Is there a student present or prospective that would not be a loser by the weakening, if not supervision, of the rightful authority of the trustees and faculty? The triumph of insubordination in a college is always fatal to its success. No wise parent would send a son to sni institution where the authority of the existing faculty has been successfully questioned and resisted by students.

It seems to be strangely presumed that the college secret societies, known as Greek-letter fraternities, constitute an exception to students' societies in general, and that they have not only the right to attach themselves to a college at their pleasure, but they also have complete immunity from college control and regulation." The history of American colleges shows that this claim has no foundation in fact. No other class of students' societies lias been the occasion of so much college trouble and discipline. It is safe to say that two-thirds of the colleges in which they exist have been obliged to exercise control over them. Even in colleges where these fraternities are tolerated, and in a degree encouraged, it has been necessary, in not a few instances, to abolish insubordinate or immoral chapters. It- is only a short time since Cornell university was obliged to drive beyond its walls one of the largest fraternities in it, and Yale college, which has always been the strong seat of fraternity influence, lately abolished all the fraternities in its two lower classes because they "tended to riot and dissipation." It is believed that there are few, if any, colleges in Indiana that have not had serious fraternity troubles, necessitating the interference of the faculty. These statements ought to be sufficient to show the danger of giving these l'ra ternities absolute immunity and power in Purdue university.

May I also be permitted to call attention to the fact that the regulation of Purdue University, prohibiting the active connection of "its students with college secret societies, was enacted in no spirit of hostility to secret societies as such, but for three other good and and sufficient reasons, fully given in the reports of the university. These reasons may be thus stated: 1. The multiplication of Greek societies in close alliance with and under the influence of the classical colleges in the state, would antagonize and supplant the industrial spirit in Purdue, and give its agricultural and mechanical departments the "dry rot." 2. The location of the university, one mile west of the city of Lafayette, and on the opposite side of the Wabash river, would make possible and easy the organization of objectionable socie ties in the city, and great harm to students would be the result.

The duty resting on the trustees and faculty to keeji the expenses of students in the institution as low as possible, in the interest of farmers and mechanics, for whose special benefit the institution was founded. It is beieved that the organization of Greekletter fraternities in Purdue will so increase the expensse of students as to irevent scores of worthy young men rorn entering to receive its excellent industrial training. The proposed rider" will thus prore an indirect tax upon the farmers and, mechanics of the state, who may beeomc the patrons of the institution.

The rule was also enacted in the belief that it would be cheerfully acuiesced in by all the fraternities in tlie classical colleges, and by every citizen who desired the success of the institution as an agricultural and mechanical college. Nor have we'been wholly disappointed for, with possib'y two exceptions, the fraternities have made no war upon the regulation. And it is believed that even these fraternities would have taken a different course, had they not been used by designing persons to secure personal ends. During the five years of the existence of this regulation I have not met a college officer (and I have met many) who believed that the excluded societies would be of the least possible advantage either to Purdue University or its students, while many have fully endorsed our position that they would seriously interfere with its industrial work. 1 am within the truth when I assert that nine-tenths of the college officers of the country would concur in the opinion that Purdue University will have much larger success without" these fraternities than with them and this is unquestionably the view of the intelligent farmers and mechanics of the state, who are looking hopefully to this institution as a place to educate their children. Though not the author of the rule, I more and more believe it to be a wise and salutary regulation, provided only that its enforcement be not obstructed by factious outside opposition or by students and alumni of other institutions, who certainly ought to be willing to permit Purdue University to be managed in the interest of the industrial classes, and not in the interest of those who are already well supplied with institutions of "their own.

The colleges of the United States have proved themselves safe deposito­

ries of power, and in all their history the exercise of this power in the control of students' societiesand discipline lias been questioned by no court aud restricted by no legislative act, possibly with one exception. The government in these colleges iB organized in a manner that secures the highest efficiency and at the same time the surest justice. They are under the control of two bodies of officers, the Trustees constituting the superior authority, and the Facmty entrusted with the direct enforcement of college laws and discipline. If a governing body thus organized is not competent, to manage the internal affairs of a college, it is difficult to see how effective college administration can be secured.

I shall take my leave of Purdue university, to which I have devoted my best thought aud effort, with grateful evidence that the policy of the trustees and faculty on this fraternity question has the approval of the intelligent farmers and mechanics of the state, whose interests we have endeavored to protect, and with unshaken confidence that when the prejudice and passion excited by misrepresentstion and intrigue, have subsided, all intelligent friends of higher industrial education will regret and condemn the efforts now made to overthrow the rightful authority of the institution and humiliate the officers. I appeal to the members of the general assembly to protect this young and promising institution .from harm.

I am, with" high respect, your most obedient servant, E. E. WHITE, President of Purdue University.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY, Feb. If, 18S3.

A GENUINE SURPRISE.

General John W. Foster Receives the Appointmentns Minister to Spain. Special to the Indianapolisflournnl.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—John W. Foster's nomination as minister to Madrid is more in the nature of a real surprise than anything in the appointment line which has occurred lately. None of the Indiana delegation knew of it till the president had asked General Foster to accept the mission. The tender was made last Wednesday, but it was not accepted until Saturday, and then only with the understanding that it would not be necessary for him to go abroad for six weeks or two months. The new minister is very anxious to have itknown that the appointment came to him entirely unsolicited. "When I returned from St. Petersburg," he said, "I announced that I had determined to retire permanently from the diplomatic service, and never expected to return butthis offer came in such a shajie and under such peculiarly flattering circumstances that I could not refuse."

General Foster was in the diplomatic service of the government for nine years. During his seven years' residence in Mexico he became very fa miliar with the Spanish language, and he has extensive business engagements in connection with the affairs of the Mexican government. The president made a personal request that Mr. Foster should consent to go to Spain, if only for afyear, or until some pending questions which are perplexing can be untangled and settled.

Dwiglit T. Reed, secretary of the legation and charge d'affais at Madrid, will remain undisturbed. Indiana now has three diplomats abroad—Gen. Lew Wallace, Hon. Billy Williams and Gen. Foster.

MRS. BREWSTER.

dow She Came to Marry the Attorney General. Boston Herald.

Mrs. Brewster is the handsomest woman in the cabinet parterre. Perhaps you have heard of the romantic life of this elegant woman who would shine in any society in any land. She was the daughter of Robert J. Walker, at one time secretary of the treasury. She accompanied Admiral and Mrs. Semmes to Europe, and fell in love with a French gentleman, one M. Delon. A marriage followed, and repentence came only too soon, but not before a daughter and two sons were born. The unhappy marriage was terminated by Delon's death, and the widow, poor in purse, was given a position in the department over which her f.itlier once had control. The present attorney-gener-al—always an admirer of beauty in women—met her and offered his hand and his wealth and his name for herself and her children. "You are beautiful," he said, "and I am hideous, but it will not be the first instance of the mating of beauty and the beast, and although you may never love me, you shall never regret marrying me." The three children took the stepfather's name. Andre became Andrew, Marie, Mamie. But the younger boy's name escaped my memory at this writing. All have been well cared for and have had every kindness bestowed npor them. There has been ur.'y o.u' i-.-.ue of the present marriage, a boy, of whom his father is extravagantly fond. I saw a picture of the two taken together, the face of the brilliant man with the terrible scars which he will bear to his dying day, and the fresh, sweet face of the boy beside him.

MARKS, THE NOTE CHANGER.

He Gets 810 from Mr. Keenan and Explains His Principles to the Police. New York Sun.

When T. Keenan reported to the Clymer street police, Williamsburgh, on last Wednesday, that a well-dressed young man of pleasing manners had stolen a S10 United States treasury note from him while he was exchanging the note for ten SI bills, as a matter of accommodation, Acting Captain Brennan said to Decective Holland, "Marks, the note changer, is about. Go and get him."

While the detective was getting ready, Mr. Keenan described how the stranger had tricked him. "He held an envelope in his hand," said Mr. Keenan, "and politely asked me to give him a $10 note forthe ten $1 notes in the envelope, saying that he wished to send the money to a friend in the country. I took out my pocketbook, which contained exactly $100 in §10 notes, and handed him anew note. "Oh, this is too crisp," he said, holding it in his hands 'please give me an older one.' I handed a national bank note to him, and he, objecting to that, asked for a treasury note. I handed him a treasury note, and then he handed me his ten SI notes, and as I thought the other two §10 notes, at the same time getting me to give him a three cent stamp. The upshot of it was that I was so turned about with the money scattered all around me that I did not miss the loss of one of the S10 notes until he had gone from the place."

The detective found Marks on Thursdav in a Bowery dining saloon, of which he is said to" be the proprietor. Mr. Keenan positively identified him. as did Mr. Neal of Grand street, who accused him of filching a §5 note from him.

While awaiting the coming of other

ed, Marks passed the time talkingwith the police. "The time I got caught in Geenpoint," he said, "I had over sixty cases to settle, and it cost me near $2,000. I look at it this way. If a man's got money and don't know how to take care of it he oughtn't to have it. It's his place, if he nas it, to take care of it,mine to get it just as it's yours to get me if I'm wanted, and mine not to let you. I've made $500 of a forenoon down town in New York."

Vanities From "Vanity Fair." Here is a pretty story of the briny deep. A large In man steamer was in rather heavy weather during the recent gales. During one forty-eight hours she could scarcely make three knots, and the captain began to look grave. Things grew so alarming at length that a pious passenger, forgetting how he frightened the women, preposed that a prayer meeting should be held in the saloon. He led off with extreme fervor, and then went around begging the other persons to join him. Coming to a Massachusetts man, the pious person said: "Will you supplicate the Lord to help us in our deadly peril?" and the Yankee replied: "I guess I am going to smoke. The odd thing was that this remark, dropped with a queer intonation, did more than all the prayers to reassure the ladies.

The present duke of Wellington has a very large and interesting collection of letters and manuscripts belongingto the late duke, his father. Among them is a characteristic correspondence between the duke and the Lady Jersey, "Queen Sarah." It is as follows: "My Dear Arthur—The Emperor Alexander is coming to see me to-morrow. How shall I receive him?" Across this little note is written in the duke's handwriting: "My Dear Sarah—Receive him as you do all your other visitors." Again comes a note: "My Dear Arthur—The Emperor Alexander comes as a lover." Across again is fhe answer: "My Dear Sarah—Receive him as you do all your other lovers."

Victor Hugo'sGood Breeding. The March Century, in an important paper on (iambettn, gives the following anecdote of Victor Hugo:

Dom Pedro, when first visiting Paris, said to M.TheopliileGautierJf/s: "I have now seen everything I want to see here except Victor Hugo." "There is no reason, sire, why you should not also see him. He ould be greatly flattered to receive a visit from your majesty." "I do not doubt that he would treat me with courtesy. But I am afraid that he would not return my visit. What do you think?"

The question was repeated by M. Thcophile Gautier to the poet in the presence of a lady, the wife of a struggling journalist whom Victor Hugo particularly esteemed for the consistent dignity of his life, which had been an obstacle to' the acquirement of wealth. •'Tell the emperor that I shall regard his call as a high honor," answered Victor Hugo, "but it would be impossible for me to call on him, for the simple reason that I have never yet found time to call on Madame B. (the journalist's wife) or on other ladies who often come to see me, and who merit my respectful friendship."

Pcrnicious Imitation of European Habits. Some pretentious and toadying people, with more money than brains, have established the duenna as a companion of their daughters. The duenna spy system is wearing out in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Mexico, and Americans are, therefore, picking up and wearing out Latin garments. The American girl is independent because she is free virtuous and prudent because she is trusted. Take away her freedom, repose no confidence in her, and she will soon adopt all the tricks and ruses of the Latin girls. Parents should always exercise proper guardianship of their daughters, but at the same time let them know that they place every confidence in their honor. Bad men and bad women are made by pursuing an opposite method.
